This was the best of three museum visits we made in this area of North Island, which included visits to the Rotorua and Taupo Museums. The entry price isn't cheap at NZ$10 per adult (children free) but we were very pleased with the facilities, trout hatchery and viewing areas and pretty much everything we found at the Tongariro National Trout...

Fun for both fish lover and non fish lover. If you like fishing, you will enjoy this place, if not, you will still have a chance to feed the fish and see how they hunger for food.
A lot of fishing rod types in display, growing baby trouts, and for activity, you will have a chance to feed trouts.

You cant drive through turangi without visiting the Tongariro National Trout Centre. Its run by volunteers and it is such a relaxing beautiful place to be. I love to fly fish and I have learnt so much about trout from this place. Wonderful setting I wish I lived here.
